I love your sincere enthusiasm while reviewing books. It's awesome and authentic!

The way you talked about books, with that sense of bursting forth with joy, was amazing to behold. As a reader who finds that sort of sacred awe in the reading process diminishing with time, I was left smiling by the end of your video. Thank You.

Seeing how you geeked over Freddie made me so giggly and happy 😍

Yeah!!! I loved all these selections, you’re excitement really makes me want to pick up those books and read them :)

Okay I’m saving this for future reference because all of these sound amazing. Also Freddy Mercury is definitely the greatest!

Middlegame is just so good! I’ve been meaning to get to City of Girls so I’m glad to see you praise it so highly!

I have just found your channel and I have to say, you have the most magnetic energy I have ever come across. In any medium! You should marrate audiobooks :)

'Red at the Bone' broke my heart. Beautiful book!

Adding Middle Game to my TBR based on your recommendation. I have been on the fence about it. Also, omg girl that shirt/dress is amazing! Love it!

So many great books! I really loved The Wayward Children series too. Red at the Bone is a book I for sure want to pick up this year - I just finished Jacqueline Woodson's memoir, Brown Girl Dreaming, and loved it.

Im definitely going to have to pick some of these up!

**opens up tbr** amazing video, sweetheart! 💜

I remember Middle Game when it was circulating around booktube a while ago and I didn't think much of it then, but I swear whenever you gush about a book or an author I'm constantly convinced to pick the books up! >_

A Monster Calls is one of my favourite books ever.

I really need to get to "Every Heart a Doorway," glad you got to read amazing books!

Oh my.. The Storm Keeper's Island sounds like it'll be an emotional ride.. and that cover art is so beautiful!! OMG!! The Cruel Prince haha!! I love that series ^_^

Glad someone loves The Mirror Visitor series as much as me! It doesn't seem to get the recognition it deserves

These are such great recommendations that I haven't seen anyone else recommend yet!! Thank you for these :)

May I suggest "The Revisioners" by Margaret Wilkerson Sexton. Its a dual perspective of 2 black women, in 2 different time periods. Very beautiful story about family, faith and sisterhood. I think you'd like it. Admittedly I struggled with "Middle Game", it wasn't so much the magic of the story but the descriptions of the magic esp when it came to math. But Im proud of myself that I finished the book...probably smarter for it ;)

Pet by Akwaeke Emezi is such an incredible read. The first two pages gripped me and didn't let me go.

You make me want to read EVERY book you talk about 😱😀🙃 Except the horror ones which make me wayyyyyy too scared.

Its 2022 I hope you are alright!!!
